‘Now other places know how we feel’ was the message of one local resident as the people of St Ann's reacted to news of wider shops and business closures in the Nottingham city area.
St Ann’s residents have previously called for more facilities in their neighbourhood, with many desperate for a new chippy, butchers, pub, café, salon, branded supermarket and more retail options after the area was left with limited options,
St Ann’s has a Caribbean takeaway, charity shop, corner shops, a Heron Food store and more but still, residents feel like the area has ‘nothing’ and no high street. With people travelling to other areas of Nottingham to go to more sociable spots like a pub. Many local residents said they would prefer it if they could have what other areas have on their doorstep.
